Will These Wheels and Tires Fit my Evo8?
Hey i have a 2004 evo 8
Was wondering if these 17x9 Rota grids
http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=6486
and 265 Tires would need rear fender rolling or spacers to clear the calipers?
And if 265 Tires are to big would 255 work?
Thanks
And what tires do you recommend for summer that will fix and look beefy?

I would check out this link that is stickied. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...s-go-here.html
However I believe it will work, but you may need some fender work to clear, I wanna say there are people on this forum who run that wheel.

I have the same rims on my 2005 in white. They're 18 x 9.5 +20mm offset and I needed to roll all 4 of my fenders and got the rear ones slightly pulled. I run Falken 245/40/18 and they're a little bit stretched. I still rub on bad bumps, especially if theres alot of weight in the back. No spacers at all, and the front just barely clear the calipers. Hope that helps.

The 255/40 is your best best. If you are Ok w/ more serious rear fender work, the 265/40 would look really beefy & fit the 9" width, no problem
Check the Rota thread out. Its likely they will fit over the Brembos but verify first. My P45R's 17x9.5+30 do!
I like the Nitto NTO5's. Aggressive summer tire w/a 200 tread wear rating / Nice rigid side wall !
